To mountains strange with golden snows,
To gardens green with many a rose,
To secrets past the sense of sense,
Skies virgin of experience,
Untrodden avenues of mind,
Things far from hurrying humankind.

No rose of thought may bear or breed
The poisonous thorn of word and deed.

My limbs, and wander down to fetch
My water from the cool cascade,
My wood from the enchanted glade,
